Idk who needs to hear this but removing Mughal history from history textbooks completely to the point that the future generations wouldn't even KNOW who the Mughals were, is not the way to go.

You can't just distort history and remove a chunk of it. That's a very biased way of viewing something that actually happened not even 500 years ago. History is not fiction. You can't remove the existence of real people.

When you remove Mughal history, you also remove the good and bad they did. You remove the reason behind the beautiful blend of Indo-Islamic architecture, culture and art we see today, few of the things that have implied towards a sense of harmony amidst the religious chaos that reeked back in the day. But with that, you ALSO remove the massive destruction and looting of thousands of temples, the inhumane measures, laws and punishments they put up against non-Muslims, the struggles and sacrifices of the Hindus and other oppressed groups who protested against these atrocities oh-so-courageously. You remove their cries, their brave stories. You remove the valiant fights Shivaji, Maharana Pratap and their likes put up against these people. You remove the martyrs of the several genocides these guys (especially Babur) caused. You remove them all, because once there's no Mughals, who did these brave souls fight against?

Also why only Mughals? What about the Khaljis, Mamluks, Tughlaqs, Ghaznis and others? They committed way worse atrocities than the Mughals did tbh. So with that logic all of their histories should be wiped out? But that's almost like a 700-800-year-history-wipeout we're talking about (the dates might not be accurate). And that's not how it works.

Here's a better idea. Just... show their good and their bad, and just don't glorify them and their tyranny. We keep the struggles and the sour lives the suppressed groups lived under the rule of these dynasties, and maybe glorify the brave souls who fought selflessly against them. We show how they plundered any place of worship that wasn't a mosque (or Islamic in general), and treated the idols of these religions post-destruction. We can also include the non-Islamic kingdoms and kingdoms that stood still and strong despite the invasions, like the many Hindu kingdoms in the south, then the Ahom dynasty and a few other small kingdoms in the northeast, etc. We can bring lesser-known and highly underrated non-Islamic kingdoms into light too in this process, and how they dealt with these invaders. (Half of these points are already depicted in the existing textbooks, or... atleast the textbooks *I* studied back in school, but I think they get kinda overshadowed by the subtle glorification of these invaders)

These are the solutions I'd provide. If anyone has anything to add, please do, or if yall have better solutions, pls lmk. But removing a huge chunk of history just out of pure hate and revenge like this is NOT the way to go about in the field of history LMFAO. It's the same as how that one biased historian recently claimed that no Hindu temples were destroyed by the Islamic invaders.

"are we not lucky plants reproduce sexually?" is a wild sentence to start the chapter with ncert

This is legit the NCERT history textbook for Class 12.

As if taking a few lines out of the BORI CE and publishing it as a source without any indication of breakage that changes the whole meaning of the portion wasn't enough, we also have a separate box drawing attention to the fact that Drona knew what Dharma was and refused to teach the Nishada boy, completely ignoring the little matter of the Mahabharata being an ancient work of verse that has a style of narration which often includes qualifying epithets. This can only mean that the way of Dharma is to exclude.

The actual line was, "But since he was the son of a Nishada, Drona, who was learnt in the Dharma, thought about it and refused to accept him as a student of archery, out of consideration for the others."

The emphasis here is on two things, him being a Nishada, and consideration for the other students. In all probability, it was perhaps a reference to the fact that the Nishadas were allied with Jarasandha. Accepting him would be terrible for the health of the Vrishni students.

Sure, caste is a problem. But is it necessary to drag it in contexts its not applicable in?

Is it any wonder this religion is looked down upon, when we are taught to hate it?

How to study for long hours/

I find it easier to study with the pomodoro method, where you focus for 25 minutes at least and then take a break.

However during exam preparation or whenever we have situations where there’s a lot of portions to cover, focusing is really hard. We often get distracted by our phones and devices as well as social media.

So I introduce my favourite life changing app!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this app, it’s available on both android and iOS.

It basically has a feature where you can choose the apps you want for studying and the rest of the apps are blocked.

It also has a study log where it basically tracks how long you study for a subject.

It allows me to use the apps that I WANT for studying as well as block social media. It reduces my screen time and distractions immensely and I’m able to focus much better !

(Ps- this is not sponsored)

I hope this helps!

friendly reminder that even if your notes (or if you're using the blurting technique) aren't aesthetic, what you're doing will still pay off in the long run <3

(and all the best of luck for whatever it is you're trying to achieve!! <33)

So I forgot to update yesterday, I was a bit too busy with the exam prep... today's exam was well interesting to say the least... Redox was fine... not as bad as I imagined it would be... but properties of fluids was shit... ecosystem was too complicated... molecular basis was great... and my score came down to 580 ... it was 612 last time... 🫠

I'm going backwards... 🫠🫠🫠

Hopefully we'll get back on track next week.. they'll probably announce the exam topica tmrw... we'll see.

What am I doing currently.... I'm trying to study animal kingdom... and admittedly not doing a very great job of that.... atleast I'm trying... it's better than nothing... 🙂

So yeah that's the update for today.. next post tmrw 😇

Poets and Pancakes is just peak ADHD energy with effective storytelling. The man goes from makeup to the office boy and his complains, to the subject of said complains, Subbu, to the department where Subbu worked, to the lawyer in the same department who lost his job because the poets were asked to go home, to the poets who gathered in Gemini studios, to the disapproval of Communists, to a circus, to another poet (a mysterious one), to prose writing and its depravity, to the Encounter periodicals in the library and later, on footpath, and finally, to Stephen Spender again.

And while reading, you don't get bothered, it flows well. But after that, you get to thinking, what did I just read?

What is the forgetting curve and how do you combat it?

The Forgetting Curve shows the process by which forgetting occurs. It demonstrates that if we learn something new, but then make no attempt to revise that information, we remember less and less of it as the hours, days and weeks go by. The forgetting curve is a memory model created by German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus. In fact, according to the curve, you forget:

50% of all new information within a day.

90% of all new information within a week.

HOW TO BEAT THE FORGETTING CURVE:

1) USE SPACED REPETITION

The easiest way to overcome the forgetting curve is by using spaced repetition. This means to reinforce your knowledge of whatever you are learning, by reviewing constantly at periodic intervals. There are multiple techniques such as flash cards, active recall and blurting.

2) OVER-LEARNING AND CLARITY

This means using far more intensive memory techniques to put more amount of effort in whatever subject that you are learning. This enables deep work and broadens your understanding, which creates clarity.

3)KEEP THINGS RELEVANT

This means to make an effort to make the material that you need, to be clear, concise and meaningful without anything that is irrelevant from an exam point of view. This involves also using various techniques for your notes. Rather than writing everything down in lengthy text formats, present information in diagrams or graphics where possible. This makes it easier to learn and improves retention.

4)MAKE LEARNING MORE INTERACTIVE

People learn better when they’re actively involved than when they’re just passive observers. This involves using various resources and gamifying your learning experience through flash cards, mini quizzes and mock tests to reinforce your learning and making it engaging.
